Harry Potter and His Sixth Year
Chapter Fourteen: Playing Quidditch
James couldn't figure out what was going on. He felt like he was all squished up; and he could not move his body. Not to mention that he could not see anything because he was being held captive some where completely absent of light. He started freaking out, what if something happened to Lily and Harry. He had to figure out how to get out. He tried using elven magic, but that was no use. He tried using wizarding magic but that did not work either.
Suddenly it became light; the ball box was opened. The snitch and the bludgers were released and James was thrown up in the air. Wait a minute, why am I being thrown up in the air? And why am I red? My Merlin did Lily actually successfully manage to prank me? Ah, my smart little witch. Wahoo! This is fun. I am going to have to do this again. Who ever thought that being a ball could be a ball! I am going to have to tell Sirius that he has to try this, its like flying on a broom minus the broom and being able to control the broom.
Mean while, the bludger kept getting hit with a bat or was trying to knock someone off their broom. Never mind the fact that Sirius had serious headache. After being hit in the head for a half hour any one would have a headache. Sirius just wished the snitch would show up soon so he would be back to being a human or better yet a dog.
The snitch was having the time of his life. He was free from judgment and was going faster than anyone else had even been. He could turn invisible with a thought and disappear into the world of air. But his arm, wings, were starting to get tired. He was not being thrown by anyone or being hit by a bat; he actually had to work to go fast so he was tired. He decided to make himself visible so the game could end and he could return to his old self again.
James saw the snitch appear and was grateful, sure being a ball was fun, but it got annoying after a while. He was being tossed and turned upside down and it was starting to make him sick.
The seeker caught the snitch and the game was over. The crowd filed onto the field congratulating the winning team, while the referee put the balls back into their case. Lily stopped him from putting the case away, promising that she would after she talked to the crowd.
She and Harry went back onto the bleachers; she magnified her voice and said, "I am sure you ware wondering why only Harry and myself are attending the game, and why King James is missing. The truth is James was the game. He and two of his best friends were turned into the Quidditch balls for today's game. Remus was the snitch." Harry took Remus from the case and undid the transfiguration. The crowd applauded the werewolf politely. "Sirius was the bludger." Harry transfigured the bludger back into Sirius. "And my husband, the king, was the Quaffle." At that statement the crowd burst into applause and cat calling, while Harry transfigured the ball back into his father.
"Well I must say Queen Lily pulled a great prank. No one, not even Severus Snape has ever dared to do something as bold. Not to mention that, that was the best game of Quidditch I have ever played. I didn't even have to do any work and I got to fly around," James announced, "anything you would like to add guys?"
"Yeah, never make me do that again, I have a horrible headache; it better go away with a headache potion or you are Lil," Sirius said, being completely serious.
"Don't blame me, Harry was the one who transfigured you. I only came up with the idea and put you in the ball trunk."
"Great, blame the long lost son who has better transfiguration skill than his mother."
"Now, you can be inducted into the Marauders; unfortunately the Marauders is a secret organization so we can not do it in front of all these people," Remus said to the family.
The Marauders plus the new inductees went to the living room. To start the induction, Harry and Lily had to repeat the Code of the Marauders: I will prank everyone and everyone save my fellow Marauders. Anyone bearing the last name of Snape will be pranked twice as much as everyone else. Slytherins and worst enemies are always the target for a prank, unless under special circumstances. I will always be there for my fellow Marauders especially on the night of the full moon. Marauders come before everyone because they are family, and family sticks together through thick and thin.
After saying the oath, Harry and Lily were officially dubbed Goldenwing and Lady Flower with the Marauder's blade. Their names were added to the Marauders Map and the Marauders Book of Pranks. Their pranks were added to the book, and so they became official Marauders. The six decided they must celebrate their new members, so they got all dressed up and ate in the royal dining hall while planning a prank for the whole city.
Sorry I haven't updated recently. I am horrible at updating, added to the fact that I didn't know how to approach writing this chapter. I was sure if I wanted it from the Marauders point of view or from Lily and Harry's. I hope I did an okay job. As always reviews are welcomed :)
